UCS Solutions provides end-to-end IT related services and solutions to a number of the large retailers in South Africa, the Middle East, Northern Africa and the UK.

Our core services & solution offering has centered around SAP. Due to SAP having recently acquired Hybris (an enterprise multi-channel e-commerce and product content management software) we saw an opportunity to create an experienced e-commerce team that could develop omni-channel commerce solutions for traditional retailers running SAP enterprise systems as their back-office.

Based out of our Cape Town office in Newlands, our Hybris Department is one of the most rapidly growing units within the UCS family.

Since joining UCS Solutions in mid-2015, the team have delivered a full-featured commerce implementation for Builders Warehouse based on the Hybris B2B accelerator, and we are currently re-platforming Pick n Pay online shopping based on the Hybris B2C accelerator.
